Cool dragon 
Someone here can probably elaborate on this, but I'll just mention it: when inking, traditionally or digitally, you need to vary the thickness of the line, or it becomes very flat. Pick up a comic book (I guess Conan is available in Sweden?) and notice how the inkers vary line thickness, and that it does something to the percieved 3-dimensionality. I actually like your pencilwork better, because the lines appear to fade in and out. There's much more movement in that one, I think
Cheers, |

Quick comment about the new detailing; it's a bit too "grey". ie. you've got the same amounts of black and white, so its all a bit averaged out. Good black and white art is about groupings of dark and light.

um ... now, maybe you ment it to be akwarard, as dragons being fantastic creatures and all, but check out the hands:
the right one is quite clearly bigger and longer, and the left one's wrist is really odd ... I see you tried to go for a human hand look here, so try and get a human hand reference for the muscular and bone structure aswell.
But the head and the rest of the body looks really good |

Not bad. Reminds me of an etching.
The skin looks a bit like tree bark.
It would be very cool to see scales and plates cover the dragon |
